What makes a great coach?

So everyone knows that I am great! Wow, that is a good start! I watched last night Lyon vs Real Madrid. The Real is the most expensive roster in the world and guess what? They lost against Lyon!

After all, it made me think about team and coaches. You can have the best players in the world and be incapable of making them play together. The great coaches understand that coaching in not only Xs and Os (technical skill) but much more. They have durability, determination, resilience, energy, intuition and passion.

A coach has also to have a vision.
Strategy: Is there a long-term plan or vision for the team or club?
Tactics: The elite coaches can wrong foot opponents, change match, win a match...
Team building: This is my believe. Real Madrid learned that 11 "galacticos" won't make the best team. Players who are workers are just as important as the superstars.

Good fundations in skills, motivations, compatibilty players and little of intuition make the perfect coach!
